“ This place was fantastic! Clean and very open with plenty of seating. I will be bring my family here many more times because the menu is huge and there are several more rolls I want to try. Good sushi costs and like I said the place was fantastic but its not so expensive that this place has to be relegated to special occasions only. I will need to check for a happy hour or lunch special. The spoon of green stuff is real wasabi and not green horse radish paste. There is a small up charge for them to bring out the real stuff and I thought it was quite good. Get yourselves in here and have a wonderful meal. ”
“ We had a birthday dinner for our friend here, with 15 guests. The staff and our server were super-accommodating! They offered to put our cakes in their refrigerator while we ate. I ordered a veggie soft tofu soup, which was not exactly authentic, but filling. The lychee sake was excellent. When we were ready for cake, they brought them out and allowed us to use a side table to serve them from. They even provided us with paper plates and a knife! When it came time for the bill, they automatically split the checks without us asking, even though they had previously warned they could only split it 4 ways. Overall they made us feel very welcomed, and didn't cause us any undue stress or inconvenience. Although they automatically included an 18% service charge due to our party's size, I added an extra tip for their excellent service! ”

“ Food was amazing - we ordered viva Vegas roll, Garlic chip with some spicy garlic edamame. Everything was amazing both rolls were astonishing. We were going to order more but our server got busy therefore we just decided to ask for the check. Great atmosphere and definitely fresh fresh fish. Will be coming here more often. ”
“ First time visiting and I had a wonderful experience. The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken teriyaki and tried the friend California roll, both amazing. The iced green tea was the best and it came with crushed ice. Definitely going back!! ”
“ Stop here for lunch during SF - LA trip. We ordered sushi rolls, bento lunch & udon. The food tastes delicious. They have excellent service. The only waitress is super friendly & nice. The chef gives us complimentary cute carved orange for the kids. Would love to come back for next trip passing the i5 highway. ”
“ Great! Had flavored sake (peach flavored) and it tasted great! It tasted soft and very sweet. For my dinner, I had their baked rolls that were served on a flaming dish (spicy tuna & avocado in rice rolls topped with smoked albacore with their special sauce) and this one was really amazing! I also had their premium sushi (toro, bluefin tuna, etc) and finally, finished my dinner with hot tempura udong. Tempura came out separately with ponzu sauce, not in the broth. Tempura was cooked properly and it melted away in my mouth. Overall, I've come to love this place a lot. Excellent! ”
